These books were the best things I bought from my trip to New York and I actually bought them in Seattle of all places while on my way back home to Vancouver. Go figure.
The most hilarious moment was when one of my friends tried to say "I would like to eat your tofu" in Mandarin. At first I didn't understand what she was saying; however, when I figured it out, my jaw dropped because I thought that was the standard phrase that one would use when making a proposition to perform oral sex upon another person.
It was rather disappointing to learn that it's a common expression for "I would like to sexually harass you a bit." Boo-hiss.
Oh, well. I'll still always consider "wǒ xiăng chī nĭ de dòufu" to be performing oral sex rather than to sexually harass.
